You oughta be in pictures (share pictures of yourself if you wish)

Thats me at age 21 in the coat and my sister in front on board the RMS Scythia in 1954 which left from Southampton
on our way to live with aunties in Canada .
We all became nice friends during that voyage and I often wonder what kind of lives they had here in Canada.
That would have been quite a journey .. you must have interesting stories to tell.

Yes good happy time.
Lots of young people, happy to start a new life after the wartime childhood and after effects for several years.

We were all under immigration status so did not get to mix with the first class but they did come and join us in our activities as we always had something going on during the voyage which lasted 9 days.

The ship was icebound for three days due to gigantic icebergs and we had to wait for the icebreakers to get the ship moving. We were allowed up on one part of the deck and that is a sight I will never forget.
Totally blocked in and deadly silent. Breathtaking.
I was just fine the whole journey but my poor sis was seasick most of the time.

Funny how I can remember all that like it was yesterday
and right now I forget what I was planning for dinner tonight:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
